1 McIDAS-V Tutorial Using and Creating Formulas updated September 2013 (software version 1.4) McIDAS-V is a free, open source, visualization and data analysis software package that is the next generation in SSEC's 40-year history of sophisticated McIDAS software packages. McIDAS-V displays weather satellite (including hyperspectral) and other geophysical data in 2- and 3-dimensions. McIDAS-V can also analyze and manipulate the data with its powerful mathematical functions. McIDAS-V is built on SSEC's VisAD and Unidata's IDV libraries, and contains "Bridge" software that enables McIDAS-X users to run their commands and tasks in the McIDAS-V environment. The functionality of SSEC's HYDRA software package is also being integrated into McIDAS-V for viewing and analyzing hyperspectral satellite data. More training materials are available on the McIDAS-V webpage and in the Getting Started chapter of the McIDAS-V User s Guide, which is available from the Help menu within McIDAS-V. You will be notified at the startup of McIDAS-V when new versions are available on the McIDAS-V webpage - If you encounter an error or would like to request an enhancement, please post it to the McIDAS-V Support Forums - The forums also provide the opportunity to share information with other users. This tutorial assumes that you have McIDAS-V installed on your machine, and that you know how to start McIDAS-V. If you cannot start McIDAS-V on your machine, you should follow the instructions in the document entitled McIDAS-V Tutorial Installation and Introduction. Terminology There are two windows displayed when McIDAS-V first starts, the McIDAS-V Main Display (hereafter Main Display) and the McIDAS-V Data Explorer (hereafter Data Explorer). The Data Explorer contains three tabs that appear in bold italics throughout this document: Data Sources, Field Selector, and Layer Controls. Data is selected in the Data Sources tab, loaded into the Field Selector, displayed in the Main Display, and output is formatted in the Layer Controls. Menu trees will be listed as a series (e.g. Edit -> Remove -> All Layers and Data Sources). Mouse clicks will be listed as combinations (e.g. Shift+Left Click+Drag). Introduction There are three methods of using formulas in McIDAS-V: system formulas which are provided as part of the McIDAS-V software, user-defined formulas which can be created and executed from within McIDAS-V, and user-defined formulas which can be defined in Jython code written by the user. This tutorial will cover the first two categories, those that can be created and used within McIDAS-V.
2 System Formulas Simple Subtraction Page 2 of 9 1. Load the forecast data for Super Typhoon Megi. a. In the Data Sources tab of the Data Explorer, open the Gridded Data tree and select Local. b. Under Look in, individually add data sources for the following files: <local path>/data/formulas/typhoonmegi/gfs_4_ _0000_000.grb2 <local path>/data/formulas/typhoonmegi/gfs_4_ _0000_024.grb2 2. Use the Simple Difference formula to subtract the 0 hour forecast from the 24 hour forecast Pressures. a. In the Field Selector tab, select Formulas under Data Sources. b. Under Fields, open the Miscellaneous tree and select Simple difference a-b. c. Under Displays, open the Imagery tree and select Image Display. d. Click Create Display. e. In the new Field Selector window, select: For Field: a, open and select the gfs_4_ _0000_024.grb2 -> 2D grid -> Mass -> Pressure reduced to Mean sea level For Field: b, open and select the gfs_4_ _0000_000.grb2 -> 2D grid -> Mass -> Pressure reduced to Mean sea level f. Click OK to display the results of the Simple difference a-b formula. g. Zoom into the Philippines area. The darker region southeast of the whiter region shows areas where pressure drops are forecasted. Drawing a line between the whiter and darker regions gives an indication of the predicted storm motion. System Formulas Combining Multiple Formulas 3. Remove All Layers via the Edit -> Remove -> All Layers menu item in the Main Display. 4. Add the forecast verification file for the 24 hour forecast: a. In the Data Sources tab, open the Gridded Data tree and select Local. b. Add a data source for the file <local path>/ Data/Formulas/TyphoonMegi/ gfs_4_ _0000_000.grb2.
3 Page 3 of 9 5. Use the Simple Difference formula to subtract the verification grid (Oct 18 0Z, 0 hr) from the forecast grid (Oct 17 0Z, 24 hr). a. In the Field Selector, under Data Sources, select Formulas. Under Fields, open the Miscellaneous tree and select Any Field. Under Displays, open the 3D Surface tree and select Topography. Click Create Display. b. Using the new Field Selector window, select Formulas -> Miscellaneous -> Simple difference a-b. Click OK. c. For Field: a, select gfs_4_ _0000_024.grb2 -> 3D -> Mass -> Geopotential isobaric surface d. Click the Level tab and select 100,000 Pa. e. For Field: b, select gfs_4_ _0000_000.grb2 -> 3D -> Mass -> Geopotential isobaric surface f. Click the Level tab and select 100,000 Pa. Click OK. The display will use the (Forecast Grid Verification Grid) equation for model verification. 6. Change the range of the color table to enhance features on the display. a. From the Legend in the Main Display, Right Click on the color bar and select Change Range. b. In the From: text box, enter -200, in the To: text box enter 200. Click OK. 7. The display now showing is a 2-dimensional display of the (Forecast Grid Verification Grid) results. However, recall that when the image was displayed, it was displayed as a 3D Topography surface. By default, the vertical range of McIDAS-V displays is 0-16,000 m. To view the data as topography, the vertical range will have to be changed to more closely match the range of the data. In this example, change the vertical range to -100 to 100 m. a. From the tool icons on the left side of the Main Display window, click the Set the vertical range icon (shown in the figure to the right). b. Change the Min Value to -100, Max Value to 100 and Units to m. Click OK. 8. Sometimes when viewing 3-Dimensional data, the map becomes obscured by the data. If the map is hidden, move the Map layer up, so it is visible on the image. a. From the Legend, Left Click on Default Background Maps. b. At the bottom of the Maps tab in the Layer Controls, change the Position slider to a value of 0.3. This will slide the map up in the Main Display. 9. Navigate through the display in the Main Display window using Right Click+Drag to visualize the 3D characteristics of this topographic display.

From the Select input window, enter the following: brkpoint1: 0 brkpoint2: 255 brkpoint3: 8 brkpoint4: 8 replace: 0 This formula applies a discriminate filter to two images by comparing elements in each image to different high and low breakpoints. Use this filter to mask off a portion of the first source image. Breakpoints 1 and 2 specify the range from the first dataset to be used, and break points 3 and 4 are for the second dataset. In this example, values of 8 are used from the land/sea mask and represent water regions. d. Click OK. e. To define image1 in the new Field Selector window, select SST -> Band: 1 -> Brightness. f. In the Advanced tab, make sure your fields are the same as they are in the image on the right. Click the full size icon ( ). Set the Coordinate Type to be Area Coordinates.
